You might find the pang subsiding, and you’ll be thanking yourself for saving those hundreds of calories.

7. Eat Salad

Always make a point to prepare a salad for dinner, even if this means throwing together half a head of lettuce with a few chopped tomato slices. This will provide you with a good source of soluble fiber, which slows the glucose absorption into your bloodstream for the rest of the meal.Note: Use balsamic vinegar for dressing (or on any part of your meal). The acetic acid content in vinegar deactivates amylase, an enzyme that converts starch into sugar.
